Q.What Kind Of Bugs Are Eating My Plant Leaves And What Remedy Is Best To Remove Them?
I have in my garden, several plants. Some of them have leaves that are being chewed and I don’t know what kind they are or how to get rid of them. The plants are zinnia, sunflower, echinacea and bell pepper leaves. Please let me know if you have a remedy. Much appreciated. Thank you.
